Brittney + Shawn // A Rich Hued Yakima Wedding at the Cascade Garden

Before the day arrived I knew it was going to be an emotional one. Brittney + Shawn have such a sweet and intimate love, and because of that, they are some of the easiest people to photograph…EVER. When they’re around one another they delve into their own little world and it’s truly like I’m not even there, sometimes I even have to shout to get their attention! They didn’t even notice when I fell over when Brittney was coming down the aisle! They’re just that glued to one another’s presence.

Cascade Garden seemed to be especially beautiful on their wedding date. All of the grounds looked extra saturated and colorful, and it does not hurt that we had a pretty fair August day. I absolutely loved all of the details at the wedding – the burgundy and greenery was such a nice change of pace as far as summer color palettes go, and do not even get me started on Brittney’s dress! It was the perfect dress for a wedding in a garden…and it had pockets! Extra cool points!

I hope that the new Mr. & Mrs. Ellithorpe and are having the most incredible honeymoon in Mexico, and I wish that in their marriage they experience a lifetime of health and happiness together! Thank you for allowing me to be a witness to your commitment to one another!
